Hell or High Water

He hung around for a while Made a claim on a life he swore would never change But he watched it burn away She didn't call for a while He counted on time to do its thing But she watched him fade away Blame your own decisions You can blame it on a million things Childhood has ended and You never had a chance to grieve He said Hell or high water I'll be running for a long long time Long long time Hell or high water I'll be running for a long long time Long long time First he needed a break Loosen up pick up his feet and start moving Just keep moving Then he needed some time Sort it out draw a hard line to stand behind Boy what do you believe in 20 years comes and goes before you have time to speak Sometimes risking it all can feel like the safest thing Hell or high water I'll be running for a long long time Long long time Hell or high water I'll be running for a long long time Long long time Now he's choking on his words After he finally heard that getting older Is just another word for surviving Hell or high water I'll be running for a long long time Long long time Hell or high water I'll be running for a long long time Long long time He's been around for a while Body's aching Hands are shaking He begins to smile
